#6200: Cannot mirror Fedora drpms using OpenAFS -----------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: tc01 | Owner: rel-eng@… Type: task | Status: new Milestone: Fedora 22 Final | Component: other Keywords: meeting | Blocked By: Blocking: | -----------------------------+------------------------ I had (mistakenly) filed this against infrastructure:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/4798
To summarize: we'd like to run a Fedora mirror in an OpenAFS cell, but the drpms/ directory is far larger than the 64K slot limit in OpenAFS and, as a result, cannot mirror them.
We are currently just excluding the drpms, which works, but I'd like to be able to mirror them if possible.
A couple of possible fixes are mentioned in the discussion on that ticket; keeping fewer drpms, or organizing the drpms into alphabetical subdirectories instead of one giant drpms/ directory.
How does rel-eng feel about this? Is this something that could be fixed in some way or should we merely continue to exclude the drpms?
Thanks in advance.
